FRIDAY, JAN. 2, 1887.
THE DRIDuE ann the DEpor.

The Western RailWav Guide, OF At.
lanta, Joins ia the prevailing estimate
Of the future Of Memphis. 1t regards
the building Of the coming bridge over
the Mississippi, sp aiming il with zone
OF the finest iron structures in the
country" as proof and cause Of the
greatness yet to come, aud says:
Memphis, one OF the greatest Of
Southern cities, with its $4,000
population, lite nine railroads and
it's splendid river advantages,
10 the last in getting union
depot. She needs 1t, and tina. badly,
and we hope the day will soon come
when she will have q union depot
built In such shape that IL, too, like
Washington's monument, will be an
ornament, and one that will 'atay
there.'" Washington, the Guide OBJ
serves, was "hrs. In war, fiist 10
peace, and first In the hearts of
the people," but the last to get
monument; 80 Memphis ia behind In
constructing Its central depot, which
10 to be grand addition to the city's
handsome structures when 1t comes.
Ia conclusion, the Guide assures It's
readers that with the great bridge
across the Mississippi and the union
depot built, Memphis will take the
banner and 20 to the front as The
largest aud greatest city in the South"

increase Of its oolored populstioa.
The experiment Of emigrsting TO Az
RIGA has been tried and failed misers-
bly,. The negroes will never have
better friends anywhere than the
white people Of the South, which Is
their natural homes. The two races
are scou toned to each other from
long association, and they get along
together with less frc ion than would
be possible anywhe!e else. The less
the idea OF emigration is encouraged
among them thu better it will be
for the coiorsd people OF the South.
Some are moving to the rich Missis-
sippi bot lands and Others are fy-
ing from the malaria OF the sWAmps to
the hills. The poor whites are con-
tented in the hills, making
comfortable living. But the discon-
tented negro requires change and
aspires to the uuattsinsble. They are
always hunting the sack Of gold al the
foot OF the rainbow. Easily dsluded,
they are continually yearning for the
Bldorado which exists only in their
Ignorant imag nations. They cannot
learn that the people OF every race will
rise just 81 the individuals Of the race
rise. This 10 the very essence and
fundamental principles OF the immuta.
BILE lava OF nature. 1t is so with the ne.
gro race, aud equally 30 with the white
race. Failure TO understand this fact
has caused immeasurable unhsppi-
ness, incalCulable amount OF pain,
discomfort and misery among the
blacks. LIST them accep! the situa-
ton, and instead OF reaching after the
impossible go TO work and, by Guilt
waiting feeling OF contsntment, they
will elevsts their race and become
happy and rr ,sperons.

of his address.

UNDER the appropriate caption, "Catnip
Tea Politics." the Press, of New York, gives
the convention Of Republican clubs deserved
scoring for smothering the resolution oppos-
ing the confirmation of Lamar. The Press
characterizes the action of the convention as
cowardly politics, and says:
eff the Lamar resolution was not proper
one to pass, from Republican stand point. the
others were not. The active working Repub-
icans are tired of the kind of Republicanism
that goes about with perfumery atomizer in
its hand making the air pleasant for its
enemies. There would be more Repu blican-
ism in the passage of Grosvenor's resolution
than in all the combined noise that might be
made by the Sherman clacquers, the Blaine
shriekers, the Foraker tooters OF the floor
pounding of the friends of any other candi-
date.
You cannot carry the election next year by
merely shrieking tariff and free trade. There
must be some very squared-toed, old-frshioned
Repubicanism in the fight to enthuse large
number of voters who still believe in that kind
of thing"
The Press is right, and we feel like remark
ing ''shake." There was time when Repub-
lican conventions and Republican Senators
had the courage of their convictions, and the
"boys in the trenches are praying for re-
turn of those times.

awakened to the importance of the subject
he might be persuaded to use his official infiu-
ence in favor of the proposed reforms. To be
specific Mr. Villas might effect arrange
ment by which the Chicago and ST. Louis
morning papers would reach Indianapolis be-
fore they were two days old. He might also
expedite mail from the South, which has now
attained regular irregularity, so to speak,
seldom being more than three days late
Postmaster Jones could also be of great serv-
ice in this work. After Mr.. Villas had caused
the mails to arrive on time Mr. Jones might
carry the ideas Of the improvement associa-
ton still further, and at the same time make
himself popular in the town by having the
letters and papers properly and promptly dis
tributed and delivered. Postmasters can un-
doubtedly do much to advance reforms in the
service, and the association should not neglect
to seek their aid. AS stated before, the
Journal favors the project; but having used
all its influence for two years toward the i'm
provement of the service, and having seen no
good results it realizes that little can be done
without the cooperation of the persons named.
1t will continue however, to offer advice and
suggestions N regard to the service when
occasion seems to require, and trust to the
fut1lre for its reward
